C# simple divide problem

Question

I have this:

 double result = 60 / 23;

In my program, the result is 2, but correct is 2,608695652173913. Where is problem?

Answer 1

You can use any of the following all will give 2.60869565217391:

 double result = 60 / 23d;  
 double result = 60d / 23;  
 double result = 60d/ 23d;  
 double result = 60.0 / 23.0;   

But

double result = 60 / 23;  //give 2

Explanation:

if any of the number is double it will give a double

Documentation

The evaluation of the expression is performed according to the following rules:

• If one of the floating-point types is double, the expression evaluates to double (or bool in the case of relational or Boolean expressions).

• If there is no double type in the expression, it evaluates to float (or bool in the case of relational or Boolean expressions).
